Foundation and development

The company with its long tradition emerged from "Vorrichtungs- und Lehrenbau Walter Eckold", which was founded in 1936 and produced equipment and components for the aircraft industry.

After the end of the Second World War, the production of continuously variable chain transmissions and expansion disks was taken up in 1951. In this area, the company has enjoyed both national nationally and international success since that date.

In April 1996, the company was integrated in the SCHLOTE GROUP and is now active in the market as Getriebe- und Antriebstechnik Wernigerode GmbH, primarily as a service provider in the automotive industry.
